Listing Timeslice Data

In addition to being graphically displayed, the timeslice data can also be listed in a text window. This enables further details of the data to be given, such as the type of event or mode referred to in addition to their timings. To list the timeslice data, select one of the options under the Timeslice data menu. The different list options are

Reason Data

If timeslices have been manually chosen, moved or selected as having special interest, then a reason for the choice of point must be given. Any reasons chosen for the timeslices for this pulse can be listed with the Reason data menu option of the Timeslice data menu. The listing will give the category from which the reasons have been selected, the time value of the timeslice, along with the reason codes and their description. See the description of the TSMK PPF  for a listing of the reason codes and a fuller meaning, or refer to the document TED, THE TIMESLICE EDITOR USER GUIDE (DMG/PUD/004/06). The information will be displayed as below.

Event Data

Selecting the Event data option provides a listing of the time points of the events selected for this pulse, along with the event reason codes and their description. Further information about event reason codes can be found here.

Selecting the Mode data option details the start times of the modes, along with the code and meaning of the mode. Further information on the mode types is also given in the description of the TSMK PPF.

Timeslice Phases

The TSLC PPF contains information about the phase of different aspects of the plasma for each of the time slices. The codes which represent the different phases can be listed in a table by selection of the Timeslice phases option. The meanings of the codes varies for each data type but they are listed in the document TED, THE TIMESLICE EDITOR USER GUIDE (DMG/PUD/004/06) or in the description of the TSLC PPF.
